It would defy all the laws of gravity for President Donald Trump to lose the White House next year. Everything is up – economy is the best in decades, employment for real Americans is at record highs, the stock market almost hit 27,000 for the first time and the U.S. military — that protects real American citizens — is getting stronger every day. Our president is 100-percent responsible for these accomplishments.
Look at what’s happening with North Korea and Iran. Both are hemmed in by economic sanctions putting the big squeeze on their economies and there again it’s the Trump Administration being the movers and shakers in bringing these rogue nations to their knees. President Trump has given both countries ample opportunity to give up their quest for nuclear arms.
North Korea – no matter what happens they probably will not give up all of their nukes and ballistic missiles. There is every reason to believe that a military coup in North Korea will take out Chairman Kim Jung-un. Whatever progress President Trump and Chairman Kim Jung-un have made toward denuking North Korea will be worthless. Iran – more than likely they already have in secret developed a nuclear weapon. They just cannot test it to see if it works or not. But sooner or later this will be proven and it will be Israel that steps into this can of worms, removes the radical Islamic government and free the people of Iran from this oppressive rule. At the same this would remove the long-standing threat Iran represents to Israel.
Israel has never admitted to having nuclear weapons and they have not conducted any nuclear testing, but they have nukes – plenty of nukes – courtesy of Uncle Sam.
Nuclear proliferation has long been the subject of debate ever since the USA blew the roof off Japan ending World War II. Those two atomic bombs dropped on Japan remain the only time humans bombed humans with such nuclear force killing hundreds of thousands within minutes. Those two bombs were mere firecrackers compared to the nuclear weapons of today.
The USA, Russia, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel currently possess nukes. Iran wants nuclear weapons because their staunch enemy Israel has them. A nuclear equipped Iran would offset the delicate balance of power in the mid-East. President Trump has vowed that Iran will never possess a nuke, but that bombshell is heating up and may go off at any time.
“Incredible prosperity” awaits North Korea if they verifiably disassemble their nuclear arsenal and related ballistic missiles — like South Africa did years ago, according to President Trump. He eagerly wants to help rebuild North Korea to become an economic powerhouse like South Korea has become since war ended there in the early 1950s.
Now that President Trump became the first sitting president to stand on North Korean soil the next big thing will be to formally end the Korean War from nearly 70 years ago. The leaders of South and North Korea along with President Trump should all get together in a symbolic respectful gesture full of ‘pomp and circumstance’ and declare an end to that piece of history. Down the road a reunification of North and South Korea may be possible although nobody is talking about that one.
Meanwhile, back in Washington the U.S. Congress is twiddling their thumbs while President Trump is getting things done around the world and at home just like he said he would. The Democrats are no closer to removing this president from office. The more they try the more trivial they become.
